Necromancing The Stone Go ahead, you can call it a supergroup. Necromancing The Stone, who signed to Metal Blade Records last year, features current and former members of bands like Arsis, The Absence, The Black Dahlia Murder, and Brimstone Coven and remains wholly committed to doing hook and riff heavy heavy metal for fans. They proved it on a new album, Jewel of the Vile, which they released in August. Listen to that LP's opening track, "Crusher," below. (Crowbar, Ybor City) INFO
Wine & Rhyme w/Oxford Noland/Nico Sweet/Christian Stewart/Jayoh Wine & Rhyme continues to (seemingly effortlessly) put together some of the most eclectic monthly lineups in the area, and they'll do it again tonight when they tap Oxford Noland to headline an evening that included a solo acoustic set from Sun Signs' Christian Stewart. Deltona emcee Jonathan Jayoh makes the drive to play this show and Tampa's own Nico Sweet will break off from her group Macibision to play a solo set. (Anise Global Gastrobar, Tampa) INFO
